BEIRUT - Syria's Information Minister Omran al-Zoabi accused rebels of firing a chemical weapon in the northern province of Aleppo on Tuesday which he said killed 16 people and wounded 86, most of them critically.

Zoabi said Turkey and Qatar, which have supported rebels fighting to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad, bore "legal, moral and political responsibility" for the attack, state television reported.

It quoted Zoabi as saying the rebels fired a rocket from the Nairab district of southeast Aleppo city into the town of Khan al-Assal, 5 miles (8 km) southwest of the city, calling it a "dangerous escalation".
